If you're using Gnus, including quoted text is easy: while reading the article you want to reply to, type F and the reply will appear with the quoted text included. Typing f will result in a new message in reply but with no quoted text. If you're using rmail or something else, I don't know how to do it. I'd recommend that you check out Gnus, though; it's IMHO the best newsreader and mail client available in the Unix environment and better than almost all in other environments. Certainly it is the most flexible and powerful of all such clients on any platform.
